There are tribes as yet undiscovered deep in the Amazon jungle who have developed a more refined technique than me in playing the electric bass guitar, without having access to either electricity or a bass guitar. I hear they complain about guitarists being too loud though

Les Paul meets Telecaster (warning: g**tar content)
Geek99 replied to Basvarken's topic in Build Diaries
Lovely work but can you please focus on what Samuel L Jackson in pulp fiction called “the path of the righteous man” and leave the weedy six string dreck alone?
